The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord’s own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist. In brief, the Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith; “Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking.” [Catechism of the Catholic Church 1994 Reference: 1322,1327]

First Holy Communion is offered to children who reach the age of reason. They are prepared through instructional catechesis and must already be attending religious education classes or attending Catholic grade school. Older children may be prepared separately from the second graders. For further information, please contact Mrs. Pat Dixon at (410) 956-2883.

Adults who wish to be initiated into the Sacrament of Holy Communion are prepared according to a process designed specifically for their needs, within the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Program. They may contact the Parish Office at (410) 956-2883 for more information.

Holy Eucharist is offered at all of our weekend and weekday Masses. Please consult our Mass Schedule for more information.
